Scots mum ‘haunted’ by face of tragic teenage son after fatal street drugs overdose
25.03.2022 - 08:19 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots mum has said she will be ‘haunted for the rest of her life’ after watching her son receive CPR following a fatal drugs overdose.
Just 12 hours before he died, Kaden Mcalpine had vowed to beat his street valium and signature pregabalin addiction during a meeting with his family.
But the 18-year-old tragically passed away at his home in Wick, Caithness, on Sunday morning despite the best efforts of his loved ones who battled to revive him.
Mum Lindsay Macdonald told how her oldest son had tried to seek help for his mental health and substance abuse issues in the summer of 2020.
She claims he was repeatedly fobbed off and ended up initially getting himself into trouble with the police so he could be sent to HMYOI Polmont in August of that year.
After spending less than three weeks behind bars, Kaden returned home on a drug treatment and testing order which saw him stay substance free for 18 months.
But after a dip in his mental health over the festive period, the apprentice mechanic tragically relapsed before an accidental overdose two weeks ago, which alerted his family that his drug use had restarted.
Mum-of-six Lindsay decided to speak out about Kaden’s ordeal in a bid to save another mother experiencing the same heartache.
She said: “I never thought we’d lose him like this.
“Up in Caithness there’s been a lot of drug deaths over the last couple of years with young people. Kaden has lost friends and family to this as well. It’s one of the reasons he got clean.
“Things got quite bad over 2020 when his addiction really took hold. He was getting into a lot of trouble with the police and things like that.
“He was always into chemical valium and signature pregabalin which he was getting off the dark web. It’s stronger
